There is really no difference between the so-called “intelligence community” and the mainstream media. The media is a voice for the intelligence agencies, and intelligence officials are regularly hired as commentators. If you listen to CNN or read the New York Times, you are getting the straight narrative that the CIA and the Mossad want to feed the goyim.

So when CNN comes out and publishes a 900 word piece and an accompanying 9 minute video segment (above) backtracking on the Russian hoax, you know that the intelligence agencies themselves have decided to dial it back.

Of course I have to point out that once again, in this “in-depth” piece, they do not say what their evidence for their claims are or even what they are actually talking about.

CNN:

The US intelligence community’s top election security official appears to have overstated the intelligence community’s formal assessment of Russian interference in the 2020 election, omitting important nuance during a briefing with lawmakers earlier this month, three national security officials told CNN.

The official, Shelby Pierson, told lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election with the goal of helping President Donald Trump get reelected.

The US intelligence community has assessed that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election and has separately assessed that Russia views Trump as a leader they can work with. But the US does not have evidence that Russia’s interference this cycle is aimed at reelecting Trump, the officials said.

“The intelligence doesn’t say that,” one senior national security official told CNN. “A more reasonable interpretation of the intelligence is not that they have a preference, it’s a step short of that. It’s more that they understand the President is someone they can work with, he’s a dealmaker.”

Pierson’s characterization of Russian interference led to pointed questions from lawmakers, which officials said caused Pierson to overstep and assert that Russia has a preference for Trump to be reelected.

One intelligence official said that Pierson’s characterization of the intelligence was “misleading” and a national security official said Pierson failed to provide the “nuance” needed to accurately convey the US intelligence conclusions.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, where Pierson is a senior official, did not respond to CNN’s request for comment.

Trump has been periodically briefed on Russian interference in the 2020 election, but was upset when he learned of Pierson’s characterization of the intelligence in part because intelligence officials had not characterized the interference as explicitly pro-Trump. One national security official said Russia’s only clear aim, as of now, is to sow discord in the United States.

Russia interfered in the 2016 election with the aim of helping Trump get elected and damaging then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign, the intelligence community concluded, writing in its post-election assessment that “Putin and the Russian government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump.” And while it is not inconceivable that Russia is once again looking to boost Trump’s candidacy, three national security officials said the US intelligence community does not yet have the evidence to make that assessment.

Since becoming President, Trump has consistently questioned that intelligence assessment, including during a news conference alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin. And many of Trump’s foreign policies have benefited Russia, from his abrupt pullout of US troops from northern Syria to the discord he has sown with America’s closest European allies. And he has previously expressed a reluctance to impose severe sanctions on Russia.

Those facts, the US assessment that Russia views Trump as someone they can work with and the separate assessment of Russian interference in the 2020 elections may have led Pierson to connect the dots.

…

One source familiar with the matter said Pierson was merely providing her view of the intelligence as she faced a series of questions from lawmakers trying to pin her down on whether the intelligence showed a Russian preference for Trump.

It’s the type of situation intelligence briefers are prepped to avoid, the source said, in part so as not to wade into partisan controversy. The source said the answer she provided has been misconstrued because it lacked context and nuance.

The brouhaha over the intelligence briefing led national security adviser Robert O’Brien to flatly deny the existence of an intelligence assessment regarding Russian interference aimed at helping Trump. But O’Brien did not explain that the US has also assessed that the Kremlin views Trump as a leader they can work with.

“Well, there’s no briefing that I’ve received, that the President has received, that says that President Putin is doing anything to try and influence the elections in favor of President Trump. We just haven’t seen that intelligence. If it’s out there, I haven’t seen it. I’d be surprised if I haven’t seen it. The leaders of our — the IC have not seen it,” O’Brien said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

But while O’Brien denied that assessment, he was quick to seize on reports that Russia is interfering in the election to help Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries — and mischaracterized the reports to suggest Russia wants Sanders to be President.

“There are these reports that they want Bernie Sanders to get elected president. That’s no surprise. He honeymooned in Moscow,” O’Brien told ABC News, parroting a line Trump used during a campaign rally on Friday.

While intelligence agencies warned Sanders that Russia is interfering to boost him in the Democratic primaries, they have not assessed that Russia wants Sanders to win the general election.

At least they do state that they believe Russia’s goal is to get a president they can work with. That is more than they usually say. Usually, they communicate that Vladimir Putin is a Joker-type figure who is simply trying to spread chaos out of mischievous malice.

But they do not say what we are talking about. No one knows what we are talking about.

How are they trying to help Trump and Sanders?

What is the activity?

It is intolerable that anyone would tolerate this talk of Russians as if they are wizards engaged in spell-casting.

If they are claiming that Putin is an evil wizard casting spells, they need to come out and say that.

If they’re simply saying that Russia is posting on the internet in support of Trump and Sanders, then they need to explain why it is that the government of Israel is allowed to spend millions of dollars on television ads attacking Bernie Sanders.

Here’s one of the ads from the Israeli government running on American television:

Is that “foreign interference”?

They are talking about this Russia thing all day, every day, and we who are forced to listen to it have a right to know what the hell they are talking about.

If the mysterious “influence” is promoting Trump and Sanders on the internet, then we need to know what the difference is between Russia and Israel.

Furthermore, we need to see some kind of evidence for these claims. Because even though I am unable to understand how it would be illegal for Russia to promote Trump or Sanders on the internet, or why it would even be considered a problem, I also don’t even believe it is happening at all.

Why should I believe it?

Because CNN told me to believe it?

CNN told me Donald Trump was involved in a conspiracy with Russia to “hack” the 2016 election. They told me that for 3 years, then it turned out it was a complete hoax. CNN has told me a lot of things, in fact, which did not turn out to be true. Sorry, I am simply unwilling to accept the idea that CNN should be treated as the voice of God, and I want to see evidence for these claims.

But like I say: right now, I don’t even know what the claims are.

The Backpedal

Basically, I think they said all of this stuff about Bernie Sanders being a Russian and realized they’re putting themselves in a position where people are simply going to stop tolerating this “Russian meddling” dopey claptrap.

Honestly, I am truly thunderstruck that they continue to push this narrative, which isn’t really even a narrative at all, but just a baffling superstition.

They say “Russia meddling,” but they do not say:

1. Why Russia is meddling
2. What Russia is doing
3. What the evidence of this unspecified action or series of actions is

I have compared it to blaming evil spirits for events, but it is in fact far beyond that, as when in a previous age people would accuse evil spirits of things, they would at least say what their goal was (to destroy Christian men and Christian society), and would explain what they were doing (usually possessing women to cause them to engage in illicit sexual activity, but also cannibalism, ritual human sacrifice, seeing the future, etc.). Obviously they couldn’t provide evidence for supernatural occurrences, and that is the primary criticism of the practice of accusing people of witchcraft. But at least they outlined the details of their claims, which is a lot more than I can say for the CIA and CNN with their Russia gibberish.

When they start blaming Russia for people supporting Bernie Sanders, you get to the point where more people will start asking “what are we actually even talking about here?” and they clearly do not have an answer to that question. Once people start asking the question and they fail to produce any answers, and instead just start accusing everyone who asks about it of being Russian, the whole thing is going to fall apart.

It’s going to fall apart either way eventually, but they want to use this hoax to completely censor all dissent on the internet, so they can’t let it fall apart too soon.

This is the latest mind-blowing skull-crusher in the infinity-long fishing trip of Robert Mueller: a guy from the Ukraine donated money to… the inauguration.

So I guess like, after the Ukraine elected Donald Trump, they just wanted to, you know, make sure he had a nice inauguration. And this $50,000 went a long way to making that shit super-nice.

The Guardian:

A Republican political consultant linked to Paul Manafort and Cambridge Analytica has admitted to funneling $50,000 from a Ukrainian oligarch to Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration committee.

Sam Patten used the money to buy tickets for the oligarch and a Russian associate to Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, according to a plea agreement made public on Friday. The inauguration fund was not allowed to accept money from foreigners.

The disclosure came as Patten pleaded guilty to illegally lobbying in the US for pro-Russia politicians from Ukraine. As part of his plea deal, he agreed to cooperate with Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating links between Donald Trump’s campaign team and Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Patten, 47, admitted causing the Ukrainian funds to be paid to the inauguration committee, and to lying to a Senate committee investigating Russian interference in an attempt to cover this up. He was not charged for these actions.

He pleaded guilty to one count of working as an unregistered agent for the oligarch’s Ukrainian political party, Opposition Bloc, which also employed Manafort, the former chairman of Trump’s 2016 campaign. Patten was released on bail by judge Amy Berman Jackson following a hearing in Washington.

The charge was brought by the US attorney’s office in the capital, which took over the case following a referral from Mueller’s office. The court filings indicated that Patten had been in discussions with Mueller’s office for at least three months.

A spokesman for the US attorney’s office said the charge against Patten was a felony punishable by a maximum of five years in prison and also carried potential fines. Stuart Sears, an attorney for Patten, declined to comment.

So this is just another anti-Trump news cycle. Just more inane noise.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump.

They are saying openly that he didn’t know about it. So what is the thing then? This is after he was elected.

Strange we’re not hearing more about this in the Western media, no?

RT:

A group of former US intelligence officers are challenging the assessment that Russia hacked the Democrats during the 2016 presidential election. They are also criticizing analysts for not looking at the forensic evidence.

The Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) sent their first memo to President Donald Trump on Monday, challenging the claim that Russia “hacked” Democratic National Committee (DNC) computers during the 2016 presidential election.

The group focused on a new analysis from an individual known as the Forensicator, who uncovered evidence that the files stolen from the DNC by the hacker known as “Guccifer 2.0” were most likely leaked, not hacked.

The Forensicator analyzed metadata from the Guccifer 2.0 files, and showed that the files were transferred at a speed of 23 MB/s, making it “unlikely that this initial data transfer could have been done remotely over the Internet.” The Forensicator also found that the files were most likely copied to a USB drive by someone on the East Coast of the US, who had physical access to a computer connected to the DNC network.

“It has long been clear to us that the reason the US government lacks conclusive evidence of a transfer of a ‘Russian hack’ to WikiLeaks is because there was no such transfer,” Monday’s memo read. “Based mostly on the cumulatively unique technical experience of our ex-NSA colleagues, we have been saying for almost a year that the DNC data reached WikiLeaks via a copy/leak by a DNC insider.”

The former intelligence officers claimed that the new independent forensic analysis has “put a huge dent” in the intelligence community assessment from January 6, when they said that Guccifer 2.0 hacked the DNC on behalf of the Russian government and then handed the data to WikiLeaks.

We also now know that 17 intelligence agencies did not agree on Russia doing it, that was just a NYT hoax.

Clapper admitted that it was 3 intelligence agencies who agreed on it solely based on the claims of a private organization, CrowdStrike, which was hired by the DNC.

CrowdStrike later said they weren’t certain of it, but the government and media still claimed to be, continually referring to it as “a fact.”

VIPS criticized the analysts from the FBI, CIA and NSA, saying they did not give “any attention to forensics” on the original Guccifer 2.0 data. The group argued that the intelligence community was “agenda-driven” and argued their assessment was “not supported by any apparent evidence.”

“The pundits and politicians who have led the charge against Russian ‘meddling’ in the US election can be expected to try to cast doubt on the forensic findings, if they ever do bubble up into the mainstream media. But the principles of physics don’t lie; and the technical limitations of today’s Internet are widely understood. We are prepared to answer any substantive challenges on their merits,” the group said in their memo.

VIPS argued that the same person was behind two major leaks from the DNC. First, they said the files that were stolen on June 12, 2016 were leaked in order to expose the bias toward former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Then, they said the same person leaked files on July 5 in order to “pre-emptively taint anything WikiLeaks might later publish by ‘showing’ it came from a ‘Russian hack.’”

I go back and forth on the Seth Rich theory.

But recently I’ve been going more forth than back.

It just makes sense, on every level, that he did it and then got killed for it so they could blame the Russians.

The group claims that since the DNC emails showed a pro-Clinton bias, her campaign “saw an overriding need to divert attention from content to provenance.”

Finally, VIPS pointed to WikiLeaks publishing original CIA documents that were labeled as “Vault 7.” Contained in those files were a number of cyber warfare tools developed by the CIA’s Engineering Development Group, including an obfuscation tool called “Marble Framework,” which could be used to conduct a “forensic attribution double game” or false-flag operation, with test samples in Chinese, Russian, Korean, Arabic and Farsi.

Yes, yes and more yes.

Even if it was hacked and not leaked, there is no way to prove who did it because tools on the open internet allow people to make it look like someone else did it.

Furthermore, there is no way to prove it either way.

The government and media’s claim is that the Russians are hacker masterminds but just went ahead and left all these fingerprints and hoofprints and hornprints for no reason.

They went on to suggest the Trump White House should review that program.

Please review this, Trump.

Or hey – maybe now there’s no reason to.

The media buried the entire Wikileaks story as soon as Trump tweet about the FBI having never looked at the DNC server.

Then it became all about a 20 minute meeting DTJ had with a random Russian lawyer who we are told was “Kremlin connected.”

Who knows what it will be next week.

Only the Jews know.

But what I know is that even liberals who hate Trump are getting sick of hearing about Russia.

What they are going to want to hear about now is tranny-abuse and the rise of the theocracy.

And if the media keeps talking about Russia instead of trannies and the theocracy, people are going to stop listening to it completely and search out media talking about what they want to hear about.

So, big BREAKING NEWS: Trump told the Russians Comey is a “nutjob.”

I have no idea is this is true or untrue. Two reporters – one from NYT and one from WaPo – “independently” confirming something doesn’t prove anything at all, because we know they have back-channels where reporters from all sorts of different outlets communicate with each other.

I don’t know what percentage of these “anonymous leaks” are true. Virtually all of them are unfalsifiable. Some of the ones which are falsifiable – such as Flynn’s call to the Russian ambassador before assuming office – have been proved true.

There are basically three options, whenever you hear “anonymous source” from NYT or WaPo:

• The Jewish reporters/ediotorial board just made them up
• An actual source said it, but they made it up
• An actual source said it, and it’s true

There can also be combinations of these, for example:

• A source said it (whether true or untrue) and the NYT or the WaPo indulged or changed the statements by adding an extra number of sources.

Basically, these Jewish news outlets do not print 100% falsehood, as they want to try to retain some modicum of credibility, but they have no actual desire to report truthful information.

But let’s be real here.

After the last two years, is there anyone, anywhere that can honestly argue that James Comey is not a nutjob?

Either way – this is some straight-up old woman gossip shit right here.

Fox News:

President Trump was hit with another set of Russia-related allegations late Friday moments after departing on his first foreign trip as commander-in-chief, with one report claiming the president trash-talked James Comey in a meeting with Moscow dignitaries and another saying the Russia probe has reached a current White House official.

The New York Times reported that Trump called ousted FBI Director Comey “crazy” and “a real nut job” during a May meeting with Russian officials at the White House – and said firing the top cop had relieved “great pressure” on him.

“I just fired the head of the FBI,” Trump, according to a document read to the Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

The comments, allegedly made one day after Trump abruptly fired Comey, could fuel allegations Trump got rid of him because of the investigation into possible collusion between his 2016 presidential campaign and Russia.

On May 10, Trump hosted Russia’s foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, along with the Russian ambassador to the United States, Sergey Kislyak.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer did not deny Trump made the comment but instead blamed the media on Friday for pulling focus from national security issues.

“By grandstanding and politicizing the investigation into Russia’s actions, James Comey created unnecessary pressure on our ability to engage and negotiate with Russia,” Spicer said.

“The investigation would have always continued, and obviously, the termination of Comey would not have ended it. Once again, the real story is that our national security has been undermined by the leaking of private and highly classified conversations.”

Wow, good comments from Spicer.

Jews rattled.

I thought for a minute there this guy was losing his edge.

Seems to have things under control today.

I think a better answer would have been “look, the real point here is, Comey is a fucking nutjob, and I’ll take you one further – he’s a fruit loop, crookeder than a dog’s hindleg, and if you think any different you ought to get your goddamn head-checked, because you’re about as nutty as Comey himself.”

I think we need a press secretary who’s willing to use profanity and insults aggressively, and really destroy reporters.

I have and always will support Alex Jones for this position.

He’s not only able to rage at people – he’s also able to keep his cool as others rage, as we saw when he crashed The Young Turks’s show at the RNC.

Trump has strongly denied any collusion between his 2016 campaign and Russia and has rejected allegations that he pressured Comey to drop a related investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn – saying “the entire thing has been a witch hunt.”

Why would he not pressure someone to drop a witchhunt?

We need martial law. We need all records to be examined by a military tribunal.

Comey lied under oath to Congress. This is a fact. He should be in prison, not out there leaking lies to the kikes.

The Times report, and another in The Washington Post, surfaced as Trump was en route to Saudi Arabia for the first stop on his overseas tour that will take him through the Middle East and Europe. The trip is seen by some analysts as a chance for Trump to hit reset after more than a week of intense controversy in Washington in the wake of the Comey firing.

But the new claims could make that reset more difficult.

Yeah.

Claims he called someone a name.

Serious business.

Being an NYT or WaPo reporter is srsly like being Nicholas Cage in a Nick Cage movie. That is their lives.

Jewish reporters are serious people, goyim.

On the heels of a special counsel being named to oversee the Russia probe, the Post report late Friday said law enforcement officials looking into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign have identified a senior White House adviser as a significant person of interest.

Sources close to the investigation told the Post that the current White House official is someone very near Trump, but did not identify the individual.

That can only be Kushner.

And Kushner could have done this specifically to sabotage Trump. I mean, I think he’s got a lot bigger ambitions than that. But who knows. I don’t know how Jews think.

I do know that they would throw Kushner under the bus if it meant taking down Trump – ensure he doesn’t get any prison time, but make it so he could never have a real political career.

The sources added, however, that overall the investigation is still focused on people who previously worked with the Trump campaign and administration but are not part of it now – namely former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

Spicer said in response to the Post report, “as the President has stated before – a thorough investigation will confirm that there was no collusion between the campaign and any foreign entity.”

That’s a lot more than Hillary’s campaign can say.

Trump should open an investigation into her collusion with Israel – that is all out in the open, as we documented thoroughly here on the Daily Stormer.

Open Israeli front organizations such as the SPLC and ADl also interfered directly in the election in a way that was blatantly illegal.

Meanwhile, everyone is being forced to admit there is “no evidence” for the kookspiracy.

Maxine Waters:

Jim Crowley:

Clapper himself famously admitted this.

Meanwhile, Obama got caught redhanded in scandals his entire Presidency, and he never got investigated.

This is all a sick joke.

But there is only one way out.

And that is martial law.

We need to shut down Congress, shut down the judiciary, shut everything down – now.

We need military tribunals, we need all of the records of all of the alphabet agencies opened up, we need Judges on the streets.

We don’t have any other options, and this needs to be done now.
